Mark's Favorite Things: The Disney Churro

Anyone who has been to the Park knows that The Resort offers some of the best snacks known to man, ranging from popcorn (and caramel corn) to the "ever so popular with Amy" Cream Cheese Pretzels.  However, within the domain of snacks lies a treat so good that it makes my mouth water just thinking about it.  You probably know what it is just by looking at the title of my article, but I like to add dramatic effect.  That's right, it's the mighty churro.

Some of you (and I truly feel sorry for you) are probably asking right now, "What is a churro anyway?"  Since were nice people, we'll give you a quick summary.  A Churro, also referred to as a Spanish Doughnut (among my people), is a fried dough stick that is usually covered with sugar and cinnamon.  Every bite of this delicious treat is a piece of heaven.

The Churro is so good and so popular that The Parks have decided to sell them all over the place in both Parks.  You don't have to worry about running around looking for it; you can barely go ten feet without running into a stand selling these tasty goodies.

If you have kids, the Churro is big enough to share, though I honestly can't see why you would want to.  The price range of these bad boys runs about $3.50, not too bad considering it's a snack and a right tasty one at that.  Don't expect to get full off of one Churro, but they can be a great snack to hold you off until your next meal, and make you go completely hyperactive in a very short amount of time.

Now that you know the basics of a Park Churro, I highly recommend that you buy one on your next trip out.  Or, if you don't want one, I'd be happy to give you my phone number; text me, and I'll come over and you can buy one for me.

My kids LOVE churros! On our last trip, we tried the Dulce de Leche one and the chocolate one. The BEST is still the original!

It's as good as you can get for a mass produced product. Nothing beats the churros they make in TJ though.

@Becky yes the original is the best! I can't eat the others because I'm scared it will ruin my Churro experience :P

@Jason I'm not sure about the TJ ones. I had one once and it just wasn't the same. I expected to be at the Park when had one in my hand :)
